PV Practice Highlights 3-5-11

Show encrypted text

Chase: Run/take-off is improving greatly. Need to keep working on "finishing" the take-off chest/knee drive up and in to create a full stretch to swing from. When you do a hit the correct right take-off, you need to be swinging harder and faster to the top of the pole to get the hips around.

Brad: 9 lefts is bring a lot of speed and engery..now we have to harness it. Got to control posture and drop mechanics at higher speeds now. Get back to Stolle model....left position, move the right. Need to avoid getting back into the mode of diving in low/late and trying to recover mid-jump.

Rasnick: Good number of reps here. Keep being aggressive and trying to hit the chest. Left arm has to be right down the line, not across the body. I think to do this you have to get the tip down sooner, chest forward, and being more active with the hands. All while staying tall.

Maira: I like the ones where you started to open the shoulder a bit. Still sitting and reaching in the run. Need to get the hips tall and cycle the legs down with authority. Left hand and shoulder turn remain rigid and late. Work on this a lot.
As your penultimate, shoulder turn, pole drop, and timing improve, you will see significant improvements in your positions just after take-off.

Joe: Good consistency and great witht he 12'6/13' foot take-offs. I feel that you really need to be pushing aggressively and keeping your hips tall/tucked if you are going to handle the "out step" and not feel like you are sinking.
